00:22The Countess is here to see you, Mrs. Hart.
00:26Mummy, what a dreadful week for you.
00:28I just can't bear it.
00:30I said to the florist, your absolute best bouquet, though no roses.
00:33And the girl knew immediately they must be for you.
00:35How about that?
00:36Oh, those wretched papers.
00:38I was so pleased when you suggested lunch.
00:40Are you surviving?
00:41When have you known me not to?
00:43Hello, darling.
00:44I put patsies for 1.30.
00:45Will that do?
00:46Dan, I swear she saw Sinatra there only last Tuesday.
00:48My favourite thing to say is that she's done it all for her family,
00:51which is ludicrous, of course,
00:52for a woman who spent every moment of her adult life avoiding her family
00:56and making grand speeches about bloody revenge.
00:59She's pathetic.
01:01There's a downside, of course,
01:03to making certain one's children never want for anything at all.
01:07And that's being forced to watch them stroll through life,
01:11taking everything in their path for granted.
01:13Mummy, I'm so sorry.
01:14What would you like to explain first, my love?
01:17Your detailed exposé to the press of my confidential medical records?
01:21Or your use, too, Mr. Fairley, of the word Haridan?
01:26I can explain.
01:28Well, I'd love to hear it, darling.
01:31Truly, I'd love to understand.
01:35It's because everything I've ever done has been for my family.
01:54Oh, no!
01:56Oh, no!
02:10Time sheets, Mr. Fairley.
02:11Thanks.
02:12It's all, well, at home.
02:21What about it?
02:22I know some of the staff at the hall were wondering
02:24if Emma might have been in touch with any news around now.
02:33It's been a month since we saw her.
02:36It's been six months.
02:39Six and a half.
02:44She sends money every month.
02:47Post-march leads.
02:48She's got a good head on her shoulders, Mr. Fairley.
02:51She gets some weight.
02:53No address, no news.
02:55No one has to worry.
02:57Anyway, it's all congratulations are in order for your engagement.
03:04Have a later shift to keep awake.
03:21So, now?
03:22What?
03:23Are you too worried?
03:24All right.
03:24I'm too much.
03:37Now, Mrs. Fairweather.
03:40I've been up all night finishing this dress just for you.
03:43So, I believe this will be exactly what you're after.
03:45Where do you find the time, Mrs. Hart?
03:47In your condition?
03:48There's a name for Mrs. Hart's condition.
03:50Tireless.
03:51Fact is, Mrs. Hart, I'm also in the family way.
03:54Congratulations, Mrs. Fairweather.
03:56Perhaps I could make you a skirt like mine with the drawstring waist.
03:58See?
03:59Wraps around my front like so.
04:00Well, come and see me and I'll get you measured up.
04:02See you soon.
04:08I've never had a shop assistant bring as much costume as you.
04:11It's all adding up.
04:13Three quarters for you, Mr. Lowther.
04:16And a quarter four.
04:18Good plan.
04:19With a capital P.
04:20Capital B for baby.
04:23I'm saving.
04:24Well, you're not saving energy.
04:26I'll sit down when the baby's born.
04:27That's how it works when you're a mother, isn't it?
04:30You do nothing but rest.
04:31Well, I'm not sure that is how it works.
04:33Mrs. Barlow, I was hoping you'd be in.
04:35You're going to love this.
05:02Thank God.
05:09All safe and sound in there.
05:13I'm going to keep you that way.
05:55Oh, my God.
06:15All right in there.
06:17Having a little play?
06:24I'm going to keep you that way.
06:28What be long?
06:32Not slack enough, I hope, Mrs. R?
06:35Lunch.
06:35Don't worry, though.
06:36I've not stopped working.
06:37I don't forbid.
06:45Closing for the day already?
06:46She's never opened.
06:52I think you'll be very pleased with what I've got for you today.
06:56The new silks are perfect.
06:58And to you, only three and six a yard.
07:01Sharon will only pay you two and six, then?
07:03Three shillings.
07:04Two and nine.
07:06Oh, you're a tyrant.
07:12Are those pin marks on those fingers?
07:14Mrs. R, how long have you been working for Joel Elder?
07:16Six months, is it?
07:18And every minute of that, you've worked like a dog.
07:19People love to tell me to slow down, but babies don't write ahead and make appointments.
07:23And I am running out of time.
07:25The money's not coming in quick enough.
07:28Does your husband mind you working so hard?
07:32He's working, too.
07:33I've told you, the Navy can't spare him.
07:35Well, he's missing out, is all I'd say.
07:39I expect you'll miss him, too.
07:41Being away from home.
07:42I miss my dad.
07:43I'm a brother.
07:45No time to miss anyone else.
07:47Anyway, I'm saving up, so when the baby's born, I can have two months off.
07:50Maybe even three.
07:51I've got to work hard in these last few weeks.
07:53It's looking like another record-breaking day.
07:57Teamwork, Mr Lowther?
07:58Ha, I don't think so.
08:00When I watch you selling, you don't have a mind like a woman's at all.
08:05Yours is more like a man's.
08:07Is there a difference?
08:10You're living here now, are you?
08:11I've got work to do.
08:16Is this the new cloth?
08:17Looks pricey.
08:18It was supposed to be.
08:20It's to replace the Fairley stuff, Mr Lowther.
08:22The fact is, customers can spot it.
08:24Cloth from the Fairley mill's just bad quality.
08:26Rotten, some might say.
08:31We've lost another cloth, Older.
08:33More complaints about the quality.
08:36A lot of that equipment is old and tired.
08:39And we can't keep asking the men to work around the clock.
08:42You're usual grabbers who don't pay the plebs enough money.
08:44Now we're offering night-time hours, suddenly they have to be home for their tea.
08:47They're not plebs.
08:48They're people who have rights and feelings.
08:52Oh, Priya!
08:54You're back!
08:58Sorry.
08:59Long day.
09:01You must be tired.
09:06Edwin, Priya and I were hoping that tomorrow we might get down to the real business of the week.
09:11Wedding planning.
09:12We should talk about churches, certainly.
09:16It's summer's date.
09:17I was hoping we might decide on a date at least while I'm here.
09:21Because your father's a busy man.
09:23Silvery Grum needs to make plans.
09:27So, we must get every wedding detail fixed, mustn't we, Edwin?
09:32He's preoccupied at work.
09:35Good old Edwin.
09:36Doing all he can to save the business.
10:00Good old Edwin.
10:04Doing all he can to save the business.
10:15Do the hell do you think you are?
10:18You should be ashamed of yourself.
10:19You don't just stroll in, Edwin.
10:21For months you can come near her.
10:22Well, sure, I'm here now when I can see she's been busy.
10:29My poor name.
10:31What the hell have you been playing at?
10:32Mr. R, you should know that your wife has been working tirelessly.
10:36Every minute.
10:39In the absence of anyone else bothering to.
10:41Mr. Klinski.
10:41David.
10:43This is not my husband.
10:44This is just a friend.
10:45A dear friend.
10:47Mac.
10:48You barely know who's my husband.
10:49You'd be surprised by how little.
10:53Well, I had no idea.
10:55I'll see you at closing time.
10:57After.
10:58See you soon.
11:08Ada.
11:09I brought you these.
11:12I was looking for a vase like mother's, you know, that allowed the flowers to splay out.
11:17Do you remember that?
11:18She always had such a way with flowers.
11:22Edwin rushed off early again.
11:25but work never stops at the mill
11:27not these days
11:28I mean Adam's barely home
11:32I hardly ever see him
11:34he's barely here
11:36do you need more hot water darling
11:39or anything

18:26oh you only want one
18:27well which reason do you want
18:29that you've no experience running a shop
18:31that you've no experience running a business of any kind
18:34that you're barely 19
18:35that you're pregnant
18:37Mr Lowther
18:38the answer to all then's the same
18:39I can do it
18:40Mrs Hart
18:41that's fanciful at best
18:42two people are filled in that shop this year
18:44two inefficient people
18:45Mrs Cleveland
18:46her stock was shoddy and too expensive for its quality
18:48she didn't know her customers
18:49I do
18:50I know what kind of clothes they're like
18:52and I'm good
18:53you know I am
18:54and you said it yourself
18:55I'm a grafter

19:06you'll have a showroom
19:06for what that cloth can become
19:08double your profits in a month
19:10treble them probably
19:10plus I'll be your best customer
19:12every dress that I sell
19:13I'll be buying the cloth from you
19:14and the shop's empty Mr Lowther
19:16gathering dust
19:17I can take it off your hands today
19:20now
19:20this minute
19:21so you don't lose a moment's rent
19:22Mrs Hart
19:23you forget I know your circumstances
19:25you live in my upstairs room
19:27the deposit on that shop is sky high
19:42I have enough in here for your deposit
19:44and because I know you're nervous about me
19:45which you won't be
19:46the moment you see the profits I bring in
19:48I know you usually ask for four weeks rent in advance
19:51but I have enough in here for eight
19:54it's all in here
19:57take it
19:58Mrs Hart
20:00but I need to remind you
20:02you're having a baby
20:03that's me to take care of
20:06and it's why I'm absolutely certain
20:08that this is right
20:15that this is right
20:37in the future
21:15Oh, I'm sorry.
21:16No, it's fine. I was just...
21:17I was just walking home.
21:18You're allowed to walk where you like.
21:23Nice aim. You got there?
21:24I've sat through three days now of your aunt talking about bridal bouquets and of you and your father shouting
21:29at each other about looms.
21:31I had some steam to let off.
21:39Oh!
21:41Okay, let's see.
21:44Not bad, not bad.
21:45Not bad.
21:48Terrible.
21:50Dreadful.
21:53Well, they'll be wondering about dinner.
21:55Yes.
21:59You know, when you asked me to marry you, I thought we had a connection.
22:04That you were optimistic, like me.
22:07You seemed starry-eyed.
22:10And I wasn't sure if we made each other's hearts sore.
22:12Not in the way people talk about hearts soaring in books.
22:16You probably don't read those kind of books.
22:18Not really.
22:20But you know the concept of hearts soaring?
22:25Yes.
22:26Anyway, I just wanted to say, not everyone gets that.
22:31The hearts soaring.
22:32That's not what life is, I don't think.
22:35But recently, the stars have left those eyes of yours and...
22:39I know this engagement pleases your father and he's not an easy man to please, but...
22:46We could just walk away.
22:52There's a lot to be said for pleasing people.
22:56And not just parents.
23:01Priya, I wouldn't have asked you.
23:04I wouldn't have considered it if I had intended...
23:10Somehow...
23:11I think my very best to please you, too.
23:15Well, let me know, will you?
23:18When the trying to please me starts.
23:44Father...
23:45How are you?
23:48I suppose I...
23:50Wanted to see you.
23:53If you don't mind.
24:06Because everything just feels a bit...
24:09Wrong somehow.
24:12Priya is a sweet girl in many ways.
24:14Where is your father?
24:18Where is your father?
24:19He never comes to me.
24:20Your father never comes anywhere near me.
24:22Where is he?
24:25He's not back yet.
24:27I don't know.
24:28He's been busy at the mill.
24:29But does he not know that I'm here, Edwin?
24:33And I'm not nobody.
24:36And I'm not nobody.
24:37I'm not nobody.
24:42I'm not nobody.
24:42I'm not nobody.
24:43But take your hands!
24:52Stop it!
24:52Get out!
24:57Sorry.
24:58Sorry.
25:01Sorry.
25:07Sorry.
25:08Door, no money...
25:11Here are these.
25:12Help me.
25:13Shoot.
25:16Hey, hey Henry.
25:20How goes he's living with glass?
25:23I see that.
25:24Oh.ары.
25:38What's
25:42Shelves here, rails of dresses here and here, and a fitting area here.
25:46And also a range of elasticated skirts for pregnant women.
25:49And a chair for them, but also for people like you.
25:53Menfolk.
25:55And there'll be a fire. The shop will always be warm.
25:57And you'll prepare to heat it, will you?
25:59Yes, and it'll be worth it, because people will want to come.
26:02And every customer will be greeted by name.
26:03And Emma, in a few weeks' time, the baby.
26:08I'll manage.
26:49Fire!
26:51Fire!
26:52Fire!
26:58Fire!
27:01Fire!
27:04Fire!
27:24Oh, God.
27:27Oh, God.
27:35Move, move, move.
27:38What's happened?
27:40It overheated.
27:41We sent you.
27:42No one in there.
27:45Who's in there?
27:46Who?
27:46My brother.
27:48Edwin.
27:48Edwin won't kill.
27:50That's the red one!
28:01We can do this.
28:03We can do this.
28:05Can't we?
28:07Can't we?
28:09Of course we can.
28:10I'm here.
28:13We're alone.
28:14We can do it together.
28:24We can do it.
28:27We can do it.
28:32We can do it.
28:45We'll get the best.
28:45Oh, my God.
29:19Oh!
29:28Oh!
29:30Oh!
29:32Oh!
29:37Oh!
29:38Edgeway!
29:39Oh!
29:40Oh!
29:40Oh!
29:51Oh!
29:53Oh!
29:54Oh!
29:55That's my heart.
30:04There's nothing
30:05Nothing in the whole world.
30:08You can't do it.
30:33Mother loved to say I spent my christening pulling faces at the vicar.
30:39This is how mom must have felt about me.
30:42She'd be so sad there's no christening now.
30:46Because don't look kindly to mothers like me.
30:51Who needs a church?
30:53Or a font?
30:57Now, what are you naming her?
31:00Because my vornine, lucky you, the decision's all yours.
31:03On account of her father.
31:06Your local lad.
31:07Being off on his boat.
31:11Edwina is a name.
31:24Well.
31:27What an elegant name.
31:30Edwina Shane Hart.
31:36In the name of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
32:00May you be healthy, wealthy, and wise.
32:05No sense, Anne, beautiful.
32:07Because look at her mother.
32:14She didn't even cry.
32:19So what has she got to cry about?
32:24What are you going to say when the registrar asks for her father's name?
32:31Unknown.
32:33Emma, don't go making her unknown.
32:36Don't give her that.
32:40Put me.
32:44Mack, it's such a responsibility.
32:47And now, do I have to be telling you again about these shoulders?
33:00Well, darling, how do you feel?
33:08I'm going to be safe.
33:10I'm going to feel me and Edwina, like we're safe.
33:16Sure, if that little girl's not the luckiest in the world.
33:21No one in my family is going to suffer.
33:23Not ever again.
33:24It's long sugar.
33:39Oh, God.
33:42Oh, God.
33:51Oh, God.
33:53I don't know.
34:28I don't know.
34:45Do you mind, darling?
34:51Stay, Olivia.
34:53Please.
35:00I will stay in this house
35:01while my son needs me.
35:03Then, the moment Edwin's well,
35:05I need to be too.
35:08I need to leave.
35:22My darling,
35:26I've not been the mother you deserve.
35:30And I'm so sorry.
35:33But I promise I will put this right.
35:38I promise you.
35:53It's all right.
35:54I'm coming.
35:56I just need...
35:58I'm coming.
36:02I'm coming.
36:03I'm coming.
36:07I'm coming.
36:25Come on, come on, come on, come on.
37:00Come on, come on.
37:03Come on, come on, come on.
37:08You're my baby girl.
37:11Yes, you are.
37:13And Edwina, you are so loved.
37:16So loved.
37:18And I won't let anything happen to you.
37:22I'll take care of you.
37:26And you will have the best of everything.
37:30I promise you.
37:34You know, those fairies turned their back on us.
37:37Because they think they're better than us.
37:39That's what they think.
37:41And if it takes my whole life, all of my energy and everything I've got, I'm going to prove to
37:46them that they're wrong.
37:52I will keep you safe.
37:56And if I have to make sacrifices, give a few things up, then I will do.
38:01If it means you're taken care of, I'll sacrifice anything in the world.
38:05I will.
38:05And if I have to make sacrifices, give a few things up.
38:06So...
38:07And if, you know, I'll...
38:08I will.
38:09And if I have to make...
38:12I will.
38:19So...
38:20Oh, my God.
38:52Oh, my God.
39:21So she's good at taking bottles.
39:24And I've put a letter in there for Cousin Frieda, thanking her.
39:29And I've put in some lists, songs Edwina like, sung and so on.
39:33Because Frieda might not know what kind of song she likes.
39:40I'm sure about this, Evorneen.
39:43You're certain?
39:46Sacrifices must be made.
39:49If that means we have to be apart while I get this up and running.
39:53And this is all for her.
39:55One day Edwina will thank me for this.
39:57She will.
40:00Cousin Frieda's the motherly sort.
40:03Will you tell her I'll visit next weekend?
40:06And after that, every other Sunday.
40:08And I'll send money, of course.
40:11And will you tell her...
40:14Emma.
40:14Tell her I have to do it.
40:17Please.
40:18Will you make sure she understands that?
40:21Tell her there's no choice.
40:24Darling.
40:24As soon as I get back on my feet...
40:27And I can look after her properly...
40:29I'll bring her back to me.
40:31Now just take her.
40:33Please, just take her.
40:39Emma.
40:41God knows you're doing all of this for this child.
40:44I don't know about him, but I just hope Evorneen knows.
40:46Now will you please just go?
40:51Just go, please.
40:55Please.
41:27I don't know about him.
